Daffy's True Elixir

[annie44]

Here is a picture of the Daffy's True Elixir that I bought yesterday from John Wolf. It is a later, smooth base Daffy's, and I believe the most common variant - The pontiled ones are way out of my price range! I really like this one and am thrilled to have it in my collection!

The reverse side - you have to love all of that embossing!

I actually bought the bottle for Chase - he wanted me to have at least one British bottle in my collection! (since he is, of course, an English bulldog)

Nice bottle and dog.

That's a nice example. Usually those later types have internal sickness. Must be something related to the contents I'd guess. A classic!

Speaking of odd English bottles, I was looking at HISTORY OF DRUG CONTAINERS AND LABELS now on google books.

They have a photo of one of the very early Turlingtons. Quite a different style from the later ones.

I haven't seen one like that before, but I'd sure like to own one! Thanks for posting that link.
